90-93 Parker: "Two powerful efforts from proprietor Silvio Denz, the 2009 Faugeres may turn out to be one of the two or three finest examples of this cuvee. Fresh, with bright acids, a dense opaque purple color, and notes of graphite, blueberries, black currants, smoke, and charcoal, this full-bodied, intense, textured, rich 2009 is a blend of 85% Merlot and the rest primarily Cabernet Franc with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Amazingly, it achieved 14.5% natural alcohol, and should drink well for 15+ years. Faugeres' brain trust of consultants includes Michel Rolland and Stefan von Neipperg. (Tasted three times.)"
92-95 Wine Spectator: "Blackberry, toasty oak, coffee bean and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and very chewy, with masses of tannins that are a little aggressive. But should come around nicely. Very chewy. Ultraconcentrated."
18/20 Weinwisser: "Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violett-schwarzen Reflexen. reifes Bouquet, Korinthennoten, Malz und zarter Honigschimmer. Im Gaumen reife Pflaumen, gewisse Dörrfruchtnoten, eine extreme Konzentration und feine adstringierende Muskeln aufweisend, aromatischer Nachklang."
